Lebron James may be on the wrong side of the age, however, he has shown no signs of slowing down. In the ongoing NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers star has been averaging 27.6 points per game which is the most of his career since 2009-10. LeBron James turned 37 on Thursday and once he decides to call time on his career he would be leaving the game like a king and legend. Following Los Angeles Lakers victory over Houston Rockets, LeBron James dropped a major hint about his retirement. 

During Los Angeles Lakers 132–123 win over the Rockets on Tuesday, LeBron James recorded a triple-double with 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, while also eclipsing 36,000 points in his career.  While speaking during the postgame press conference LeBron James said, 
“I know I’m on the other side of the hill, compared to the hill I was on before. I know that. But, I mean, I’ve thought about it, where I’m at with it. I’m still playing at such a high level, I haven’t given it too much thought.”

It has been 18 years since making his debut in NBA  and LeBron James said that he will be okay whenever he decides to retire from the sport. He said, “But I’m in Year 19 and I’m not gonna do another 19 so I’m definitely not halfway in my career. I’m on the other side of the hill. So, we’ll see where the game takes me. We’ll see where my body takes me and my mind. As long as my mind stays fresh and my body stays with that, I can play the game".

He added “But, the game will tell you. Your body will tell you. Your mind will tell you. I’ve put in enough hours and punched enough clocks where, when that time comes, I’ll be OK with it.”
